Artist story
Built through faith, culture, and lived experience.
Tyrine began making music in 1989 as Dakarai Spiritual. In 2026, he embraced his own name as his artistic identity, standing behind the work while honoring the roles he carries as a husband, father, pastor, and chaplain.
His mission is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through hip-hop. The recordings and live shows connect faith in the Holy Spirit with a lifelong relationship to the culture, bringing conviction without leaving the music behind.
